Brand new Black Nokia N96 in stock!

With the original N96 still wowing owners who took the plunge back in September when it launched, this new version does away with the silver trim found on the side in favour of an all Black exterior. The result? The N96 looks even better, the all black paint job helps to give a smooth and classy finish compared to the original which, in my opinion, looked slightly disjointed with the two colours. It also means that you’re not distracted from the excellent 2.8 inch display.

Other than the updated colour, it’s business as usual for theBlack N96 in terms of features. Connectivity is covered withHSDPA mobile broadband and Wi-Fi ensuring you get the best and more importantly quickest connection possible. For multimedia, the excellent Nokia media player is complimented by a whopping 16GB of internal memory that can be expanded up to a further 16GB with a memory card. 32GB phone? Yes please. What’s more, the brilliant web browser and powerful Symbian operating system is even able to handle BBC iPlayer, the BBC catch up service that lets you watch all your favourite show on the Beeb from the previous week. Elsewhere, a 5.0 Megapixel camera with Autofocus and zoom and a Carl Zeiss lens makes for the perfect camera, video recording at 30 frames per second will help those budding Steven Spielberg’s out there and the bundled PC software makes uploading your clips a piece of cake!

Anything else? Well GPS SatNav with the popular Nokia Maps software finds its way to the party (see what i did there? Find…SatNav? Don’t worry) as does the dual slide design that hides the media keys and best of all a funky little kick stand that disguises itself as part of thecamera lens and transforms the N96 into a portable movie player! Seriously tempted by this back in September when it was first launched, this new all Black revamp might be just enough to put my trusty N82 back in its box and embrace the N96.
